Mr. Eastwood for the former, which he bought for 

 130 guineas. His lordship was equally pleased with 

 his own purchase. Looking round the herd at Tort- 

 worth, some years after, with Mr. Eastwood and Mr. 

 Knowles, he stopped at each of them, and said,

Having settled this little matter, we must run over, chiefly in the 

 words of one who knew them well, a few of the Towneley cracks. 

 We'll miss Royal Butterfly and Master Butterfly, and get to Royal 

 Butterfly loth ; he was from Parade by Duke of Glo'ster ; his head 

 was not first-rate ; he was a great fine bull with such a back, and such 

 dash about him ; he should have been a rich roan. Richard Cceur de 

 Lion, or "Dick" as they called him, had as good a head as was ever 

 stuck on a pair of shoulders. At the Dublin Show Mr. Baxter handled 

 " Dick," and Culshaw led Master Butterfly he never would walk, but 

 seemed to go on springs, as if Irish soil wasn't good enough for him. 

 Mr. Douglas's Captain Balco, a splendid bull, was second that day, and 

 " Dick" third. At Chelmsford, one of the judges said " he walks like 

 a gentleman, " and Culshaw nodded to Dodds at those words, and said, 

 " I've just done you." Grand Turk had not the" same beautiful blood- 

 like offal as Master Butterfly. "The Royal" was better let down in 

 the thigh, and was a little bit better in the back than Master Butterfly, 

 and his bosom was rather wider. His- breast wasn't so deep, and his

 and hadn't a vulgar hair about him, and thighed down to the hock. 

 He gave Towneley stamp, thick flesh, true form, and mellow hides. 

 He got Young Barmpton Rose and Emma she was lovely and 

 Butterfly's Nephew with that wonderful back and substance. Then 

 there was Master Butterfly 4th, by him from Beauty 3rd, by Frederick 

 he was poor and delicate as a calf he went to the Emperor of the 

 French, and he had no luck. When Frederick was a calf, he did so 

 badly that they had very nearly exchanged him for a female with Mr. 

 Manning, of Rothersthorpe, but he was given to the tenants, and 

 Messrs. Willis had him for a time. From him their Lord Frederick 

 was descended, and the 1869 Birmingham medallist cow in a slight
